Backfill Tampers

Compact soil to reliable density in narrow trenches, around pipe, and at footings where plate compactors can’t reach. Chicago Pneumatic, APT, Texas Pneumatic, and Toku pneumatic backfill tampers use a vertical-impact foot and high-frequency action for utility and pipeline work.

Compaction in Tight Spaces

Backfill tampers run 18–38 CFM at 90 psi off an air compressor, in butterfly and pole styles with tamper feet to pack around pipe. For foundry and casting sand, see bench and sand rammers; for the full range, see tampers & rammers.
